Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
1. Why Updating Your Address Is Important
Failing to update your address can lead to:
- Missed SSA letters or deadlines, which could affect your benefits or appeals
- Delays in payments, especially if you also need to update bank or direct deposit information
- Complications during Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) or other SSA-related processes
2. How to Change Your Address with SSA
You can update your address in several ways:
a. Online Through My Social Security Account
- Visit www.ssa.gov/myaccount and log in to your personal account
- Navigate to the section for updating contact information
- Enter your new address and save the changes
This is the fastest and easiest method if you already have an online account set up.
b. By Phone
- Call SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778)
- Available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Provide your Social Security number and answer identity verification questions
c. By Visiting Your Local SSA Office
- You can change your address in person by visiting your local Social Security office
- Bring a valid government-issued ID and your Social Security card or number
- Use the SSA office locator on their website to find your nearest branch
3. When to Notify SSA
- As soon as you know your new address or moving date, notify SSA to avoid any gaps in communication or payment disruptions.
- Updating your address before you move ensures mail will not be delayed or returned to SSA.
4. What If You Receive SSI and SSDI
- If you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), it’s even more critical to update your address immediately, as SSI eligibility considers living arrangements and state residency. Report your change no later than 10 days after the end of the month in which the change occurred to avoid overpayments or penalties.
5. Double-Check Confirmation
After updating your address:
- Log into your SSA account again in a few days to confirm the change was processed
- Watch for confirmation letters mailed to your new address
- Call SSA if you do not receive confirmation within
2 weeks
